WELCOME TO QUEEN SQUARE MEDICAL PRACTICE

New Patient Registration

The doctors welcome new patients who live within our practice area. As it often takes sometime for records to be forwarded from your former practice all newly registered patients will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and are offered a consultation with the doctor.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.

Boundaries

To find out whether you are living within the practice boundary, and therefore able to register with us, please see the Boundaries page.

Change of Details

If you change your address, telephone number of mobile number please inform us as soon as possible. If you are unsure whether your new address is within our practice area, please ask at Reception. It is important for us to keep your contact details up to date in case we need to contact you or a family member in an emergency.

Out Of Area Registrations

New arrangements introduced from January 2015 give people greater choice when choosing a GP practice. The new arrangements mean GP practices now have the option to register patients who live outside the practice area but without any obligation to provide home visits.

When your application is considered we will:

ask you or the practice you are currently registered with questions about your health to decide whether to register you this way;

ask you questions about why it is practical for you to attend this practice (eg, how many days during the week you would normally be able to attend).

If accepted, you will attend the practice and receive the full range of services provided as normal at the surgery. If you have an urgent care need and the surgery cannot help you at home we may ask you to call NHS 111 and they will put you in touch with a local service (this may be a face to face appointment with a local healthcare professional or a home visit where necessary).

We may decide that it is not in your best interests or practical for you to be registered in this way.

If accepted but your health needs change we may review your registration to see if it would be more appropriate for you to be registered with a GP practice closer to your home.

This new arrangement only applies to GP practices and patients who live in England
